What have you been reading lately? Great quote from Spurgeon here highlighted at Pyromaniacs today. You need to read. Renounce as much as you will all light literature, but study as much as possible sound theological works, especially the Puritanic writers, and expositions of the Bible.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

VBS 06 – a great week
We just finished a great week of Vacation Bible School here at Higgins Lake Baptist Church. We’re praising the Lord for the 69 different children we were privileged to minister to and the 43 helpers who all worked hard to make our week a great success. Thanks to you all for your hard work.
